hi!
az lawrie (pronouns: he/him) is a quasiprofessional mess masquerading as a musicologist, thinker, cellist, choral singer, composer, and emotionally mature adult. az has been referred to as "thoughtful, insightful, kind, and caring" (az's mother) and “mozart's waluigi” (Emery Kerekes). az has been rejected from numerous highly regarded degree awarding institutions and summer festivals. presently, az can be found knitting, complaining about inaccessibility in academia, and/or experiencing elf emotions.
to get in touch with az, follow the email link above.
B.Mus cello performance, DePaul University School of Music; M.Mus cello performance, Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance; M.Mus musicology and ethnomusicology, King's College London.
az has previously been known by other names, some of which may appear on this website and elsewhere on the internet. where possible, please refer to az as az and not any other name.
it's not a bad thing to need other people. it's never a bad thing. don't let anyone convince you that you don't need other people.
this feels familiar, the thing of writing a blog post and not having any answers at the end of it.
